Also, there is a reason we have an executive chef developing menus. Ever heard of too many cooks spoiling the soup? That, and the general population has shit taste in everything from food, to entertainment. Having the children of buzzfeed deciding this, will end up with a menu full of macaroni and cheese, and pizza logs.
Also, recipes are not copyrightable or otherwise able to be locked up in some form of intellectual property. Thankfully. I would hate to see a world where I could only buy chocolate chips and chocolate chip cookie recipes from Nestle.
Of course, it would be nice if they add attribution as needed, but tough to prove for something like this (bacon weave being a fairly common new fangled technique applied to everything from tacos to ice cream).
I want what tastes good to me, not what tastes good to most people. You can't solve personal subjective problems with data.
Most internet recipes are made by food bloggers and grandmas, not executive chefs.
"Too many cooks spoil the soup" doesn't mean "most people can't make good recipes."
Tasty existing doesn't preclude pretentiousrecipes.com so I'm not sure I understand that criticism.
It’s like the old story about how Prego discovered that you can’t just make one sauce everyone loves, you make a chunky and a smooth and a meaty and meet the needs of each different set of tastes. Just like how Netflix doesn’t have a single hit show, they hit all the different demos.
